Help Shape What’s Next: Join the IABC Southwestern Ontario Board
There’s something special happening in Southwestern Ontario—and it’s just getting started.
As we come together as a newly formed IABC Southwestern Ontario chapter, we’re standing at a pivotal moment. This isn’t just a continuation of what’s come before—it’s an opportunity to build something new, meaningful, and impactful for communications professionals across our region.
And we’re looking for passionate people to help shape that future.
Why join the Board?
Serving on the IABC SWO Board of Directors is more than a volunteer role—it’s a chance to grow, connect, and make a difference in the communications community.
Whether you’re looking to expand your leadership experience, build your professional network, or give back to a profession that has given you so much—this is a space where you can do all of that, and more.
Even better? These are hands-on roles. You won’t just contribute ideas—you’ll see them come to life.
